Cub clutch problems

I have a 1951 cub, put in new throw out bearing, new pressure plate (fingers adjusted to 1 1/4 in.per manual) new clutch plate. The clutch fingers compress when the clutch pedal is pushed, however the tractors gears grind when attempting to put in gear.I have adjusted the clutch pedal to various positions with no luck. The clutch plate is installed with splined hub facing toward the rear as indicated in manual. Any help will be appreciated.Thank you in advance.
 
How long are you waiting to shift into gear after you depress the clutch? The transmission gears will continue to spin for several seconds after you disengage the clutch due to kinetic energy, so if you try to shift into gear right after you step on the clutch pedal, then, yes, the gears will grind because they are still spinning and you are trying to mesh a non-rotating gear with one that is rotating. If the gears grind no matter how long you wait after stepping on the clutch pedal, then I would agree that the clutch is not disengaging.
 
let motor idle slow, then try putting into 3rd gear first then other gear.
see if that works for you.

trannies are not synchronized
 
Brand new pilot bushing also. Will check to see if a fork might be broken or a gear might be hung up. Thanks.
 
If all of the adjustments are correct, I would suspect that either while splitting ro reassembling the transmission shaft got bent by not supporting the tractor sufficiently, or that the clutch disk is backward and the longer end of the hub is against the flywheel. The long part of the hub should be toward the transmission.
